Chapter 200: Solicitation (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If it were any other time, if he wanted to kill an Enlightening Stage demon and hundreds of Ascension Stage and Spirit Awakening Stage demons, Lin Shen would have to summon his clones to attack together.
When he came back to his senses, Lin Shen began to clean up the battlefield.
However, to his disappointment, this group of demons was impoverished. There were not many valuable items in the nest. Most of them were scrap metal that had been collected from somewhere.
The only thing that could be considered valuable was the Black Iron Bone.
Most of the demons did not know any weapon refinement techniques. Even if they obtained the black iron bone, they could not use it. They could only throw it away, and Lin Shen took advantage of it.
“About two to three kilos. They can be exchanged for seven to eight medium merits. That’s nice.”
Satisfied, he put away the black iron bone. Lin Shen didn’t bother to rest. He left this nest without stopping and rushed toward another demon settlement.
Taking advantage of the fact that his opponent had just ended the battle and had yet to recover, he planned to wipe out the two demon tribes in one go.
One kilometer to the west of Green Reed Pond.
A simple and crude tribe with wooden houses and stone buildings.
Mo Zhao sat cross-legged behind the stone table. His brows were furrowed as he fumbled with the wine bowl, looking hesitant.
Opposite him sat a green-skinned demon in black armor.
The black-armored demon took a sip of the wine and frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the taste. He curled his lips and put down the bowl.
He looked up at Mo Zhao and smiled calmly.
“Brother Mo, why are you hesitating? Many others want to defect to our king, but they don’t have the means. Now that this opportunity is in front of you, why are you still hesitating?”
Mo Zhao collected his thoughts and smiled awkwardly.
“Envoy Wu, please forgive me. After all, this concerns the entire tribe. I have to think about it, right?”
Wu Jing gave him a sidelong glance and said indifferently,
“Brother Mo, let’s not beat around the bush. The most powerful of the little demons outside is only at the late phase of the Ascension Stage. There are as many of these demons as you want in the entire Great Swamp. I can always recruit more. They’re insignificant. I don’t believe you really care about them.”
Hearing this, Mo Zhao chuckled, but he did not retort. It was obvious that he had agreed.
Seeing this, Wu Jing snorted and continued lazily,
“I know that you just can’t bear to part with the Iron Bone Fish here, but you have to know that as long as you serve our king, there are plenty of natural treasures to take. Why do you care about a mere Iron Bone Fish?
“When the time comes, as long as you make a contribution, the king will be happy and reward you with things that are much more precious than this Iron Bone Fish!”
Wu Jing’s mouth was dry from all the talking, but he saw that Mo Zhao only smiled and did not say anything. He finally understood that he could not convince this cunning old demon by himself. He could only reveal his trump card.
“Brother Mo, our king said that as long as you come over, he will give you the position of a demon general and a Golden Marrow Pill!”
As soon as he said this, Mo Zhao’s muddy eyes lit up.
The demons were born with a savage nature, and very few of them were good at refining pills and weapons.
Because of this, most demons relied on themselves to cultivate diligently. The more ruthless ones would devour the flesh and blood of humans to absorb their essence.
Mo Zhao had cultivated for more than 200 years, but he had consumed no more than ten decent pills, let alone a supreme-grade pill like the Golden Marrow Pill!
The Golden Marrow Pill could not immediately increase one’s cultivation level, but it could allow a cultivator to enter a strange state of dividing their soul and spiritual consciousness within three days after consuming the pill.
To put it simply, it was to experience the stage of a cultivator master in advance!
If one cultivated in this state, his cultivation level would increase by leaps and bounds!
One day was equivalent to several months!
Especially for the demons, the effect of the Golden Marrow Pill was even stronger.
One Golden Marrow Pill could increase one’s cultivation by at least ten years!
Mo Zhao could not help but swallow when he thought about the powerful effects of the Golden Marrow Pill.
Seeing Mo Zhao’s excited expression, Wu Jing was pleased.
“How is it, Brother Mo? Is this condition generous enough? If you’re still not satisfied, then I have no choice but to go to see Lin Chong!”
Towards the end, Wu Jing’s tone had a hint of threat.
Mo Zhao finally couldn’t resist the temptation and threat. He squeezed out a smile and said,
“Envoy Wu, you are being too serious. How can I not know what’s good for me? It’s my honor that King Snakehead thinks so highly of me. From now on, I will definitely follow King Snakehead’s lead!”
Hearing this, Wu Jing relaxed and he nodded in satisfaction.
“I’m glad to hear that. Don’t worry, our king has always been generous. He’ll definitely treat you well.”
“Of course, of course. Please take care of me in the future, Brother Wu!”
Mo Zhao took advantage of the situation and immediately changed the way he addressed the envoy to Brother Wu. He then stuffed something in Wu Jing’s hand.
Wu Jing glanced at it from the corner of his eye. When he saw that it was a low-grade spirit stone, he was immediately overjoyed. He took it and nodded repeatedly.
“Of course, of course. We’ll be colleagues in the future, so we naturally have to take care of each other!”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mo Zhao rolled his eyes and probed, “Brother Wu, what about Lin Chong?”
Wu Jing understood and said with a smile, “Lord Wu Luo leads the team this time. When he sent me here, he only gave me one demon general spot. Now that it’s on you, Brother Mo, Lin Chong naturally has no chance. However, I can still make the decision to make him a deputy general.
“In a while, we can head to Chong Lin’s place and ask him if he is willing to join King Snakehead. If Chong Lin knows what’s good for him and takes the offer, he will be under your jurisdiction. If he doesn’t know what’s good for him, well…”
Mo Zhao’s eyes lit up.
When he thought about how he would be able to show off in front of his old opponent later and even suppress him in the future, Mo Zhao felt refreshed. It was as if he had drunk a jar of fine wine. He wished he could leave now.
But at this moment, a small demon suddenly rushed in from outside.
“My king, an enemy, suddenly charged into our tribe. Many of our brothers were killed!”
Mo Zhao glanced at Wu Jing and glared at his subordinate. “Call me General from nowon!”
After that, he asked, “Tell me, what enemy is it? Is it Lin Chong?”
